## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Other files in that directory can be erased.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Destructive Action
- **Selected version:** 0.119.5
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The manifest contains a concrete destructive pack-time action that removes nearly every entry in its own package directory. This supports blocking publication despite the absence of install lifecycle hooks.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The \`postpack\` script deletes nearly all contents of the package directory.

- **Trigger:** Running the package-pack operation that invokes \`postpack\`.

- **Impact:** Other files in that directory can be erased.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T15:49:14.972Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The script enumerates the package directory and recursively removes each entry except two named files.

- **Attack narrative:** When package packing invokes \`postpack\`, its registered command enumerates the package directory and recursively removes every entry other than \`package.json\` and \`stage-pack.mjs\`. This can erase the directory’s other contents.

- **Rationale:** The manifest contains a concrete destructive pack-time action that removes nearly every entry in its own package directory. This supports blocking publication despite the absence of install lifecycle hooks.

- **Files touched:** package.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** \`package.json\` registers a \`postpack\` script that recursively removes every entry in the package directory except \`package.json\` and \`stage-pack.mjs\`., The cleanup runs after the package-pack operation and can erase the package directory’s other contents.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest declares no \`preinstall\`, \`install\`, or \`postinstall\` hook.

## Affected versions and remediation
